Paphos Coast During Lockdown
Calm Seas

Had I taken these shots on another day the water here would be a lot choppier. We have had a very mild winter, with little rain. But the last few days have produced quite stormy seas.

St Nicholas Church

Everybody loves this church. It was open, but I didn't go in. My attitude during lockdown is that I will take pictures if they are part of getting some exercise. Going into a church may well be important to a regular church goer, so it hardly seems fair for me to take up space there when we are supposed to be distancing. For the same reason, you won't see us post pictures of us standing in an overcrowded location complaining about it. If we see an overcrowded location, we just avoid it altogether. Otherwise, you are just adding to the problem.
Cue The Handy Virtual Tour
Anyway, you don't need to go into the church to see inside. This is the virtual tour we made of it last year. Don't forget to check out the ceiling!
Back On The Trail

Anyway, it is worth remembering that if you drive down to the harbour and it looks crowded, just head up this way a bit, and park in one of the municipal carparks. As you can see, there are no crowds here at all.
This particular shot shows the hotels past the church. You can see how they have fenced off their land for the duration. You can still walk down the path and on the beaches though.

Paphos doesn't have much of a reputation for the seaside, but there are in fact 17 Blue Flag Beaches in the region. We've put them all in an easy-to-use directory, and we present them here for your delectation, so you can see for yourselves that Paphos Beaches are in fact, not shabby at all.
Sodap Beach Update
There was recently a bit of a kerfuffle in the press about the new cafe that is being built at the SODAP beach in Paphos. We couldn't help notice that the pictures used all showed the beach from one angle. So we took a New Year's Eve trip down to the coast, to get a clearer picture. Now you can judge for yourself just how much of an encroachment this cafe will be.Good Pages To Visit

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
